College friends getaway

The place was great. Close to stores and restaurants. The deck and view were incredible. The pool was a nice bonus. There was a little miscommunication with the cleaning company, wasn't cleaned when we got there, but reached out and they came right over. Spotless when they left. Would definitely recommend staying there.

This house was perfect for me and my family. The proximity to the beach made it easier to transport a baby and that goes along with that. We enjoyed the pool as a way to cool off from the heat without going on the beach.

Best beach trip yet!

We loved our first trip to Emerald Isle, in large part thanks to Sea Glass! This beautiful cottage exceeded our expectations, from the stunning oceanfront views, to the short stroll to the beach. Sea Glass is well-appointed, clean, updated, and in a lovely neighborhood with easy access to everything. Can’t wait to go back!

Homey

Size of the house was perfect for my family. Enjoyed the pool and being oceanfront. For the cost of this home the owner should provide laundry detergent, dishwasher soap, trash bags, more toilet paper, and extra paper towels for their guests. For this property to be smoke-free upon arriving at the Sea Glass House we saw cigarette butts under the house and especially in the driveway. The wraparound porch was also a plus!!

Beautiful Home

My family and I stayed at this location and it was very beautiful. You can tell the owner has been investing money into the property. New decking, railing, and very clean. The only downside is that there was only 1 trash bin to utilize for the week, but that is only trying to find something for improvement. Highly recommend this location.

Response from VrboOwner on 21 Aug, 2024
Glad you had a great stay! Unfortunately, we have had two trash cans and one recycling bin but they get 'taken' since they are hard to find in stock on the island and are very expensive. Also, trash is picked up twice a week so the cans should have been emptied by the town during your stay. Thanks for staying with us!

We enjoyed our stay except for 3 issues: the house had not been cleaned when we arrived for checkin (& we weren't early) and we weren't informed in advance; 2 beds did not have sheets on them which we didn't realize until the evening; the pool was very small with a dark bottom so it generally was too hot to use (of course we paid a premium because of the pool).

Amazing views and location!

Thank you so much for sharing this property with us. The 7 of us- 5 adults and 2 small children had a wonderful week there. The location of the house could not be more perfect. The view from the living room, deck, and bed rooms were perfect. Plenty of space foe us all to be together. The pool was wonderful and the kiddos loved it so much. The ease of getting back and forth to the beach was so nice with the small kids. Check in was simple and commutation with everyone was super easy! We will def be planning another trip here❤️

It’s all about the view.

First experience with VRBO and will not be our last. Great communication all around, from booking to property owner and property management. This home had something for all ages. Loved the deck, loved the pool and loved the view. Only drawback was the size of the showers in the attached bathrooms, which was solved by the ample outdoor shower, that my husband described as magical. Thank you for sharing your lovely home!

So glad you had an awesome week. We're grateful to offer 3 full private baths even though the cottage isn't large-- so yes, the showers are compact but at least they're there! And the outside shower is indeed magical! Thanks for the review and hope to have you back!

Perfect Place

This place was the perfect size for our family of 6 adults. There was actually a 4th kids bedroom that we didn't use that accomodates 4 kids (bunks). This cottage is perfectly situated on the beach giving both sunrises and sunsets! The pool was a nice plus; although, we didn't use it as much as we thought we would. The location on Emerald Isle is also a nice plus as it is 2 miles from the Point. We could hop on our bikes or run there easily. I spent the entire week just wishing it were mine!

Can't beat the location

You really can't beat the location of this home! This side of the island is more residential, which means the beach is not crowded! There is a playground within half a mile that my 2 year old niece really enjoyed. The grocery stores are about a mile or so away, super easy! The beach access and pool are amazing. Being able to see the ocean from the pool is a bonus for sure. Our family really enjoyed both! The home itself is older, but did what we needed. We had 6 adults and 1 toddler. Would more space be nice? Sure, but we didnt spend too much time inside. The home could use some updating, but nothing bothered us at all. And, my pup had a ball. Would I stay here again? Sure! You cannot beat the location and views!

Fantastic location

Seven adults found this cottage to be the perfect size and location for our family. We have been vacationing in Emerald Isle for years and this was one of our favorite rentals. We rarely left the very clean beautiful property, spending time on the beach, in the pool, and on the deck. It was a pleasant surprise to see how short the walk was to the almost private beach. The foot wash station was used multiple times a day and most of us used the outdoor shower every day. We never turned on the TV as we enjoyed the many board games and books you made available. Thank you for placing lights on the stairs and pool so we could move around safely after dark. We really appreciated the labels identifying light switches and kitchen items. The kitchen was stocked with every item we needed; the full-sized refrigerator and dishwasher worked well. The check-in and check-out procedures were efficient due to the excellent written instructions. We will definitely rent this unit again.

Great Location

Great location, wonderful large deck, nice private pool. House was not clean. Large crusts of bread fell off the dishwasher door when first open, broom with pile of dirt near door, cabinet interiors needed cleaning. Much of the pots and pans disorganized. Not one sheet of toilet paper upon arrival. So many beach tubes etc. in laundry room it had to be emptied to use the washing machine and dryer. Cockroaches in kitchen and bathrooms. The lockbox combination difficult to see and use. While the size and location of the home was great, sometimes it is the little...but very important....things that make the stay amazing as well.

Thanks for taking the time to review, Jean! I'm so sorry to hear of your experience and while it's obviously too late now, had we known of the issues, we would have addressed those right away. These are all things that may happen slowly but definitely more in the August/end of season rental period...no excuses though, and we would have come and cleaned any of the problem areas right away had we known if you'd reached out to any one of us during your stay. My arrival email reminds all of our guests to contact us right away of any issues as we can't do anything to fix things when we only hear of them after your stay when you write a review for the 'world' to read. Please consider that next time you have issues no matter where you stay. Thanks again!

About the host

Hosted by Deanna Feddersen

Host profile image
We are a family of five with a long history on Emerald Isle. This is our second oceanfront property and love our GEM of a cottage which is why we named it Sea Glass and decorated it like our own home with loving care. We've spent many weeks at EI over the last 25 years and love every minute of our time there---all year 'round---whenever we visit our second home and know you will too!

Why they chose this property

It's hard to find a cottage style Oceanfront home with all the options that Sea Glass boasts. It's the perfect home for a family or two (or even three if you're not too big!) looking for a quaint beach getaway with the privacy of your own pool, the option of bringing your pet, and being ON the beach with all the amenities that Emerald Isle offers. Stroll the tideline at sunset or pedal your bike to the food-mart on the bike path for early morning groceries or coffee. Lounge poolside or oceanside all week long and take in the amazing sunrises and sunsets over the emerald Atlantic.

What makes this property unique

This is a unique GEM (just like finding some sea glass on the sand!) that has amazing views all the way around because it sits forward (on a 'piano key' lot) of the surrounding homes. With its private pool, this single-family home (though it is large enough for multiple families to stay!) is the perfect getaway location for a small or large group all year round. Situated at the end of Ocean Drive, Sea Glass is a private and quiet cottage in the Ocean Oaks neighborhood off Coast Guard road in a very desirable part of the island.
